aln' draftsman IfrnafnarchaoAv. Although students and Instruc- tors have been on vacat ions, and the school paper was discontinued during the summer vacation period, newsworthy events did not cease. However, had The Craftsman staff been active, front page stories would have been written about the following stories: July 10: Nine of the first group of ten boys returned from the New York World's Fair. The following boys were placed in Tool and Die rooms: Leo Champagne, James Hogan, Robert White, Maurice Baker, John Nagel, and Melvin Hall. Emerson Ward went to the Dearborn Body De- sign department while Walter Grunst and Carl Queck were placed in the school’s drafting room. Stanley Kaczmarek was retained at the Fair. July 16: The Three Trumpeteers of the Henry Ford Trade School Band, accompanied by Don Voorhees Orches- tra, gave a special rendition of Three Trumpets during the Ford Summer Hour. July 19: The first ripe tomatoes reported in the Thrift Gardens were picked by John Heinz, shop theory instructor.

SPECIAL EDITION HENRY FORD Skilled Hands Aid the Brain to Think Sanely Back from our vacations with pleasant memories of the summer experiences, we enter the twenty- fourth year of H.F.T.S. During this period many changes have taken place in the methods of edu- cation. More and more effort has been made to train young people to use their hands skilfully as well as to think accurately. This new emphasis on hand train- ing met much opposition because many people had bee cane accustomed to consider education as something that could be put into the brain principally through the eye and the ear of the student. These people failed to realize that many messages reaching our brains by sight and sound must be verified by actual contact before we are sure of their meaning. Because it is so wonderfully sen- sitive, the hand has probably car- ried more accurate original infor- mation to the brain than all our other senses combined. This we and other schools are beginning to realize. By training the hand to do skilled work the powers of the brain also expand and the ability to think sanely and accurately increases, but training the brain by other means develops no hand skill. The person who can use tools properly whether in the field of art, or manufacturing, or house- work has an ability the world needs. Only as the individual is able to perform seme service that others wish has he truly earned his place in the community. One thing every human being de- mands is a Job, and there is no sub- stitute. Jobs do not always mean working for money. We work because we must, to be happy. Others give us Jobs because we have the ability to do their work. In this school you have an op- portunity far beyond the ordinary to develop manual skill. How are you responding? Supt. of Ford Schools . Club announcements will be made over the public address system in the dining roam. The first regular edition of The Craftsman will appear Sept. 22. TRADE SCHOOL SEPT. 5, 1939 1700 Students Enrolled For 24th School Year With the calling of the class roll this morning, instructors are officially opening the 24th school year of Henry Ford Trade School. The school was opened Oct. 25, 1916 with six students and one in- structor. This morning the school has approximately 1700 students and 125 men on the instructional staff, 26 teaching academic work. In 1930 the school had its highest enrollment, 2800. On February 28, 1927, a branch of the school was organized at the Rouge Plant, the site of the pres- ent school. In the summer of 1930 the original school was moved from Highland Park and consolidated with the Rouge School. The High- land Park school occupied th9 Deepest sympathies are ex- tended to the family and friends of George Garabedian, senior, who died of typhoid fever on Aug. 8. building that now houses the Law- rence Institute of Technology. To get instructors supplied with lesson sheets and to take care of rush work or Ford Motor Co., the printing machines ran 24 hours each day last week, printing more than 300,000 sheets. Mr. Yerex to Take Last Group to New York Fair Having completed more than 70 weeks of training, the third group of ten Trade School students will entrain next Sunday for the New York World's Fair, where they will demonstrate their skill to the millions of visitors to the Ford Building by working on drawing boards and various machines. This group, consisting of Frank Leach, William Tilly, Warren Hardy, William Innes, George Dery, Wesley Champion, Daniel Vipond, Coradio Salet, Gerald Grunow, and George Manoli, will return when the Fair closes this fall. G. A. Yerex, personnel director, will accompany them and will re- turn with the group now at the Fair next Wednesday or Thursday morning.

PAGE TWO THE CRAFTSMAN Bee-Ball Dropped; Basketball Planned The discontinuance of bee-ball from the school’s athletic program was announced by Coach V. F. Rich- ards last week as he gave his plans for the fall-winter sports’ season. The indifferent attitude of the boys toward bee-ball last season, Mr. Richards declared, makes it. necessary for us to discontinue it this fall. Basketball, however, will soon be in full swing. The Senior Intramural Basketball League will begin its schedule Oct, 1 and finish in December. This league will be composed of A-B-C- and D-cla8s teams. Teams from the C-class may have as many as two players from any class below their8 or one player from any class above. D-class boys will be allowed one player from any class above theirs or as many players as they wish from any class below theirs. The Junior League, composed of E-F- and G-classes, will begin its schedule early in January and continue into March. The Craftsmen varsity basketball team will begin practicing in the early part of November for their opener with the alumni on Dec. 1. Boys Join T-W-M Kamp Opened on Edison Lake Answering the call of the out- doors, 31 Trade School students under the direction of L. J. Cro- teau, auto mechanics instructor, attended the T-W-M Kamp on Edison Lake near Belleville, Mich., dur- ing the 20 days it was open. The boys slept on cots in a tent and cooked their own meals on a camp stove. With the lake at their doorstep and open country as their back yard, they spent their time swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, baseball playing, horse- shoe pitching, and reading books and magazines. In groups of six and seven they each spent four days at the camp. A fee of $4.50 paid all expenses, including the cost of the camp equipment. Mr. Croteau appointed one of the older boys supervisor of the camp. The supervisors for the season were William Coleman, Edward Bate, Thomas Dobson, Earl Shuttleworth, and Anthony Ortbach. Due to the enthusiasm shown this season, Mr. Croteau hopes to ex- tend the camping period to one week instead of four days next year and to make accomodations for double the enrollment.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 5, 1939 Ford College Men Study Labor in Summer Forumt A college spirit was brought in- to the Trade School this summe when 40 of the 200 college stu. dents enrolled organized a Ford College Men's Summer Forum which met weekly at the Western Branch Y.M.C.A. to study labor and Indus trial problems in Detroit and to aid in creating a closer fellow- ship among the summer students who came from 75 different colleges. Woodrow Wooley, of Alma College and chairman of the Forum, said that the group endeavored to sup- plement the theory that they got in college by hearing views of men who are actively engaged in Indus- try and who have had to cope with problems of industry and labor. Supt. F. E. Searle spoke on Henry Ford as an Educator. Five other men talked. The Forum took trips to the U- nlted States Rubber Company, Cran- brook School, and Vernor's Ginger Ale Plant.
